'Nina' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleek outfit. The dress has a fitted jacket with padded shoulders, a straight skirt, and a thin belt with a buckle. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The lines are loose and confident, with watercolor shading for shadows. The artist signed it "Nina" in the corner, not her own name. This suggests the drawing was made for a specific person, not just a fashion study. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her clean, modern designs.
Marie-Louise Carven (31 August 1909 – 8 June 2015), born Carmen de Tommaso, was a French fashion designer who founded the house of Carven in 1945.
